The old Roku menu worked great. Today I updated my favorites and was presented with a barely usable navigation screen. It is also slower, it says "loading" a lot which it never used to. This is how it used to look and it was great. I don't have a screen shot of the new version. Boo new version.

I have a suggestion for the site that might help increase subscriptions.

How about offering the first episode of a new series on the same day for all users, then requiring a premium membership for episodes 2 and beyond? (Similar to the TAN "first-one's free" method, but keeping the free after 1 week thing.)

That might pull more people into the show off the bat and get some more subscriptions from people unwilling to wait two weeks to watch episode 2... (the power of impatience...)

I would really like there to be k-pop, even though its not japanese-related, its still asian and tons of people here love it, including me! ;)
if you do make a section like this, i would LOVE it if you could get SHINee!! best k-pop ever!!! XD

I would like an option from the video list to open the video in its own new browser window without having to go into the stream itself. (You know, the second option on the video menu bar, to the right of autoplay. (The "premium member only" thing.)

Also, it would be nice if the next video (whether you select it or it starts automatically) also starts in the same window. As it stands now, if you click the next video on the post-stream video list, it opens the whole webpage for that video in that smaller browser page intended just for the video itself.

I just wanted to mention that it would be really nice if a playlist could continue in fullscreen instead of fullscreen shutting down everytime a new episode starts. Or if that is problematic, somehow make it resume fullscreen again automatically if it was on before it switched video.
Thanks.

'Chapter skipping' would be a nice feature to have for video playback.

I usually don't want to see the opening theme every episode, so I often skip it.
Doing this is manually is tedious and tricky to skip to exactly the point the ep starts at. The same applies to the preview/extra section that often appears after the ending theme.
DVD's and mkv video files often have chapters that you can directly skip to, I think it would be very convenient if this were possible too for Crunchyroll video's. So you'd be able to skip to exactly the right point with a single click.

For instance eps could be subdivided into chapters as follows:

Start of OP theme > End of OP theme > episode halfway point > start of ending theme > end of ending theme

'Chapter skipping' would be a nice feature to have for video playback.

I agree. This would also give CR a feature the fansub streaming sites no doubt lack, given their reliance on third party video hosts.

One possible negative on Crunchyroll's side: In additon to player support, each episode would have to be examined and the points set. If those points are already determined for insertion of commercials, however, then there should be no problem, since no additional labor should be involved.

One nice thing about watching on the Roku (which I only do for episodes that don't have 720p available) is that the newest version of the player offers Netflix-style thumbnails when hitting fast forward. While one can't hit the ED or OP right at the point they end, you can come very close.

Could we get some of the features from watchlist adapted into the queue? Or even better, merge the features somehow, instead of this strange limbo where two of the three keeping-track features are turning useless and the third doesn't do what I would like it to.

In particular, I used the watchlist to be able to organize my list of shows in the categories available, share the list with friends, and as a way to get to my shows quickly. I admit the queue does the last far more efficiently but then it throws out everything else.

I keep getting emails and pm's telling me that I should get a premium account (which I want) but when I try to pay I find that there is no option for my country (nigeria). When will you add more countries.
